The first incarnation of this blog/ podcast, Poiesis Studio, was actually a meetup practice group for actors and filmmakers. We used to meet at the Democracy Center in Harvard Square, Cambridge. It was there that I first met, Nicole Mazzeo. At the time, her educational organization Pleasure Pie was sponsoring an ongoing discussion group called Sex Positive Boston. Curious to see what they were about, I eventually ventured into one of the meetings. A bit nervous, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself welcomed into a meeting space of very diverse, friendly folks talking with one another openly and honestly about their sexuality. I was struck by how genuine and sincere people were, and how much they seemed to get out of having this space to share their thoughts and feelings on sex and relationships. As someone who leads therapy groups, I felt keenly aware of the presence and skill with which the facilitator, Nicole, led this group. Nicole thinks outside of the box, and brings a boon of wisdom in this episode. Enjoy!
